Why do cats smell so good if they don’t take baths?

Pet Question

Cats don’t like swimming and bathing like dogs, and they don’t need to be bathed as often as humans. Cats themselves have a special fragrance, which is due to a substance secreted in their bodies called keratin fatty acids. This substance helps cats protect their skin and hair, and also produces a special fragrance. Most cats keep themselves clean, usually on their own every day. They lick their fur and skin with their tongues to remove dead skin and dirt. If your cat has dirt or odor, you can try scrubbing it with warm water and mild bath products, but don't bathe them too frequently, as this may destroy their ability to protect their skin and coat.
